DISCLAIMER
_RE: ATAG CHAIRMAN IN ALLEGED FRAUD_
Our attention had been drawn to a publication by education.net on the above issue and wish to inform all members of the alliance to ignore it with contempt.
We have asked the publisher Ellis Ferdinand to retract it or face court suit for defamation and false publication.
It is just a calculated attempt by some evil persons to use propaganda union driven politics to jeopardize the image and future of the young flourishing union.
We ask our members to remain resolute and continue to enjoy our amazing policies and products.
